"Niece-in-law, won't you explain?" asked Si Mei, the aunt.
"I don't have anything to say. I still say the same thing. After I left, I never came back." Yan Mo pointed at the person in the video and said very clearly: "The person in this video is not me."
Si Mei obviously didn't look convinced. Not only Si Mei, but most of the people present, except Si Ze and Xun Jiage, an outsider, began to look at Yan Mo with suspicion.
Just as Si Mei was about to say something, Si Ze interrupted her and ordered in a deep voice: "This doesn't prove anything. Keep reading."
Everyone then turned their attention to the surveillance video that was already playing.
A few minutes later, the surveillance video finished playing, and the Si family members gradually became talkative. However, what they all had in common was that they all took two steps away from Yan Mo, with anger on their faces.
Seeing this, Yan Mo looked at her parents-in-law. Seeing that they were frowning and their eyes were clearly inquiring, she looked down at the hand she was holding with Si Ze. After thinking for a while, she slightly chose to pull her hand away.
Because at this time, if he showed any favoritism towards her, he would be labeled as unfilial, alienated from the family, and become the target of public criticism, which would make things even more difficult for him. She didn't want to see this.
Just as Yan Mo was exerting force on her hands, Si Ze seemed to know what she was thinking. He suddenly exerted force and held her tighter, not giving her any chance to escape.
Seeing this, Tang Ping and Si Jiawei looked at each other, and their frowns deepened.
"Yan Mo, how do you explain it?" Tang Ping asked.
At this point, Yan Mo also knew that no matter how she explained or said anything, the Si family would not believe her. In this regard, she was helpless. In the end, whether she opened her mouth or not, she still said the same thing: "Whether you believe it or not, this person is not me."
This statement alone is not enough to convince Tang Ping and Si Jiawei, nor can it convince anyone else in the Si family.
"How is it possible? How can it be such a coincidence? You just came and someone else came."
"You are such a vicious person. Grandpa was so good to you, yet you could still kill him." Some people didn't care about anything else and directly put the blame on Yan Mo.
"That's right. There's no point in denying it. This surveillance video can't be faked." Someone agreed.
…
For a moment, the people of the Si family were full of bad words towards Yan Mo.
Finally, Si Ze couldn't bear it any longer and shouted coldly:
"Shut up."
Si Jiawei could tolerate anything, except the matter of the old man's murderer. He would never let such a woman continue to be his daughter-in-law.
"Si Ze, you should shut up." Si Jiawei warned sternly:
"Look at the woman next to you. Now that Grandpa is gone, you are the pillar of our Si family. I hope you won't let everyone down."
Seeing that her husband was really angry, Tang Ping thought for a moment, gave Yan Mo a subtle look, and walked forward to pull Si Ze.
How could Yan Mo not understand? She was sad for two seconds in her heart. When Si Ze was held by Tang Ping, she pulled her hand away with force. At the same time, she took a few steps back, away from Si Ze, not wanting to put him in a difficult position.
If she did it, she wouldn't deny it, and if she didn't do it, she wouldn't admit to taking the blame either.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and everyone was waiting for Si Ze to express his opinion.
Among the Si family, only Ning Xin looked at Yan Mo with the same eyes as always, but with even more trust.
She stood up, walked to Yan Mo, took the initiative to shake Yan Mo's hand, and said boldly to her family:
"What are you all doing? My cousin's wife is so nice, how could she be the one who killed grandpa?"
Seeing this, Xun Jiage's eyes flashed with admiration. He turned his back to the Si family and secretly gave Ning Xin a thumbs up.
Although this girl is usually spoiled and domineering, she can still tell who is right and who is wrong when it comes to major issues. She dares to stand up in front of so many people and oppose different opinions. This courage makes people admire and proud.
"Ning Xin, what are you crazy about? Come here quickly." Si Mei roared.
Ning Xin ignored it and smiled at Xun Jiage, as if encouraged. She ignored the angry faces of her family members and continued, pointing to the surveillance video:
"Just based on this outfit, you're sure it's my cousin's wife. Isn't that too hasty? Look at her figure and temperament. How can she be my cousin's wife?"
"Then who do you think this person is?" said the eldest uncle of the Si family.
Ning Xin rolled her eyes. The woman was obviously covering her face on purpose. If she had known who it was at a glance, she would have been a detective long ago instead of wasting time arguing with them.
"Ning Xin, I advise you to stop messing around here." The eldest uncle of the Si family warned in a serious tone: "You saw it too. In the surveillance video, it was Yan Mo who pulled out your grandfather's oxygen tube."
"Anyway, no matter what you say, I believe my cousin's wife," Ning Xin said firmly, "and if my cousin's wife says it's not her, then it's not her."
"Don't even mention my cousin's wife. Even if it was me, if I did something like this, I would have run away out of guilt. Why would I wait for you to catch me in my dream? I'm stupid, right?"
Ning Xin's statement left everyone speechless. They had reasoned that this was the case, but at this moment, everyone was pretending to be dumb and deaf.
"Stop making wild guesses here." The uncle-in-law got angry and turned to Si Ze, who had not expressed his attitude.
"Nephew, I suggest that we lock her up now, to prevent her from running away when we are not paying attention."
Ning Xin was angry:
"Uncle, you're going too far." Then he said to his cousin with concern:
"Brother, don't listen to your uncle. You have to trust your cousin's wife. You don't know her well enough..."
How could Si Ze not know that she was kind-hearted and her character was clear to him? No one knew her better than him.
Just as he was about to nod, he saw the dangerous look in his father's eyes, which clearly showed that if he dared to nod, he would sever all ties with him.
For a moment, Si Ze was in a dilemma. On one side were his parents, and on the other side were his wife. How should he choose?
Yan Mo didn't want to embarrass him, so he took the initiative to speak:
"I'll go back by myself. I won't come out until I find out who it is."
"That won't work. What if you get scared and run away? We have to find a place to lock you up and have someone watch you. Otherwise, send you to the police station," Si Mei said.
Second Aunt advised: "Sending her to the police station is too serious. Yan Mo also said that this person is not her. Shouldn't we investigate?"
"No need." Si Mei pointed at the person on the screen who looked exactly like Yan Mo: "With such obvious evidence, do we still need to investigate?"
Everyone was chattering and arguing non-stop.
Si Ze did not try to persuade her. He looked past everyone and looked at Yan Jing, who was standing at the door in a panic. Yan Jing wanted to go in and take her sister away, but was rejected by Yan Mo.
